Inspection Service Founded

To Meet New Offshore Platform

Inspection Requirements

Marine and Offshore Inspection Services,

Inc., a new inspection service, has been estab- lished to fill the void created when responsibili- ty for inspection of fixed offshore structures was shifted from the U.S. Coast Guard to rig/plat- form owners and operators.

Peter J. Hill, president of the New Orleans- based company, said the need for the new ser- vice now exists because many companies do not have the expertise or the desire to perform the required annual inspections. He added that some companies which do have the resources such as safety and training departments, prefer a third party inspection because of the inspec- tor's independence and liability considerations.

The company offers services meeting the new regulations to owner/operators of facilities lo- cated on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf, including the Gulf and West Coasts and Alaska.

Following the inspections, the company reports its findings to the owner/operator of the rig or platform, who submits a report to the Coast

Guard.
